"It's not impossible for me to join the Xu family!" Xu Ziyan said lightly.

Hearing that Xu Ziyan was willing to join his family, Xu Haobo was overjoyed, but he was worried that Xu Ziyan would humiliate his fourth brother, so he couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Seeing the embarrassment on Xu Haobo's face, Xu Ziyan naturally knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing. Thinking that I just need a good cultivation environment, naturally I won't embarrass Xu Haomiao, even if I want to take revenge, I have to wait until I have that strength. But on the surface, Xu Ziyan naturally couldn't show it, but said lightly:

"I don't know what's the benefit of joining the Xu family? And I don't want to be restrained too much."

When Xu Haobo heard that Xu Ziyan didn't mention his fourth brother, he was certain in his heart, with a sincere smile on his face, and said kindly:

"Master, as long as you are willing to join our Xu family, I can ask the patriarch to give you the position of elder Keqing, and enjoy all the offerings of the elder level. And you only need to make some paper symbols for the family every month."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Ziyan and said softly: "Of course, when the master's cultivation is advanced in the future, if the family is in danger, the master can also lend a helping hand. As for now, the family can also send masters to protect you."

Hearing what Xu Haobo said, Xu Ziyan knew that the other party had seen his own cultivation, so he couldn't help but secretly sighed that his cultivation was low. But she also saw that Xu Haobo valued her, and she didn't set herself any restraints. He thought about it for a while, then nodded and said:

"Also!"

Seeing that Xu Ziyan agreed, Xu Haobo was overjoyed, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Go, master, come with me to see the patriarch."

Under the leadership of Xu Haobo, they walked into the courtyards, and finally met Xu Haoran, the contemporary head of the Xu family. At first, Xu Haoran frowned slightly when he saw his second brother bringing a teenage girl in, but when Xu Haobo told what happened, Xu Haoran's slightly frown immediately relaxed , There was also a faint smile on his face. The eyes looking at Xu Ziyan are also softer, but there is sharpness in the softness, and the eyes look up and down Xu Ziyan like an invisible sharp sword. Xu Ziyan immediately felt that under Xu Haoran's gaze, it was as if she had been stripped of her clothes layer by layer, revealing herself in front of the other party without any concealment.

This made Xu Ziyan feel very uncomfortable. While facing tremendous pressure, there was also a burst of shame, anger and helplessness in his heart.

"This is the difference in strength!"

A bead of sweat oozed from his forehead. With a "ding", a drop of sweat slipped from the tip of his nose and fell to the ground. Just when Xu Ziyan was about to collapse under the pressure of Xu Haoran, Xu Haoran withdrew his sharp eyes. Xu Ziyan immediately felt that his body was loose, and he couldn't help but shake it before he stabilized his body again. He couldn't help being shocked:

"Is this the power of a master?"

However, after all, Xu Ziyan is a man of two lives, and he lost his composure for a few seconds before regaining his composure in an instant. Xu Haoran, who had been watching her all the time, flashed a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then he turned his gaze to Xu Haobo, his gaze revealing an inquiry, revealing that he was asking, can this young and outrageous little girl in front of him really be able to refine talismans?

Xu Haobo immediately understood what the elder brother meant, and without hesitation, he nodded firmly immediately. Xu Haoran was determined, although he was surprised, but he was very happy. The girl in front of her is so young, as long as the family gives her enough support, she will grow up soon. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Looking up, Xu Haoran couldn't help but a wry smile crossed his mouth. The person who came in was none other than Lin Pinghai, the worship elder of the family talisman hall. This Lin Pinghai was not originally from the Xu family,

It is a talent that Xu Haoran spent a lot of effort and money to poach, and he is currently the only person in Xu's family who can make real first-class paper talismans. Xu Haobo was barely able to make first-grade paper talismans, and its quality was much lower than the real first-grade paper talismans. Lin Pinghai was different, he was the one who could really make first-grade paper talismans. Therefore, even though Xu Haobo is the head of Futang, it is because he is a direct disciple of the Xu family. However, Lin Pinghai has the highest status in the talisman hall. He is the only enshrined elder in the talisman hall of the Xu family.

In the Xu family, apart from the fact that the head of the hall must be a member of the Xu family, the highest status is the worship elder, followed by the elder, and then the guest elder. But enshrining elders and elders are real members of the Xu family. Regardless of whether your surname is Xu, if one day you leave the Xu family, you will be regarded as a traitor to the family and will be hunted down by the entire family. If you don't betray the family, the status and benefits you get in the family are also very huge. But Keqing elders are different. Keqing elders can leave the family they serve at any time, but their status in the family and the benefits they receive are of course impossible to compare with worshiping elders and elders.

Today, Lin Pinghai heard that Xu Haobo had brought a very young girl to meet the Patriarch, and it was said that the girl could make first-grade paper talismans, so he immediately couldn't sit still, and walked to the meeting hall. As soon as he entered the meeting hall, his eyes immediately fell on Xu Ziyan. This is also no way, who made only Xu Ziyan, a young girl, stand there in the whole meeting hall. Seeing that the girl in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her cultivation was only at the first level of the Qi refining stage, Lin Pinghai's face was pulled down, and his eyes became extremely cold, even with anger and sarcasm, he shouted in a cold voice:

"Whose girl are you? Dare to come here to deceive the owner! Do you think there is no one in Xu's family?" Speaking of this, he took two steps, walked in front of Xu Ziyan, pointed his finger at Xu Ziyan's nose, and waved Putting on the posture of an elder, he shouted very unceremoniously:

"You didn't learn well at a young age, and you dared to deceive the Xu family. Don't you know how to write the word dead?"

As soon as Lin Pinghai said these words, the expressions of the people in the meeting hall were different. Xu Haoran's expression has a hint of expectation. He also wants to see Xu Ziyan's real ability, and see if Xu Ziyan can really refine a top-grade paper talisman. After all, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. But Xu Haobo had a helpless expression on his face. He knew that because Lin Pinghai had always been the number one member of the Xu family in making talismans, he was usually very arrogant, and sometimes he didn't even give him face. He also knew in his heart that talisman making is a profound knowledge, not to mention Lin Pinghai, even he absolutely did not believe that the girl in front of him could make a top-grade paper talisman. Now Lin Pinghai obviously doesn't believe that Xu Ziyan can make a top-grade paper talisman. What's more terrible is that his words are very serious, and he doesn't save Xu Ziyan any face at all. Xu Haobo doesn't want to lose Xu Ziyan because of Lin Pinghai. baby. But he also knew that once Lin Pinghai's character was called true, no one would give him face. In this way, he could only show helplessness on his face. And in his heart, he also wanted to see Lin Pinghai's expression after Xu Ziyan showed his skills. Thinking about Lin Pinghai's arrogance in the past when he didn't take himself seriously, he felt a little secretly happy.

At this time, Xu Ziyan didn't know Lin Pinghai's identity, but she was sure in her heart that the person in front of her must be able to make talismans, and her level should not be low, otherwise she wouldn't blame herself like this. But his tone made Xu Ziyan unhappy, very upset, very upset! Whoever was scolded by pointing his nose would feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Xu Ziyan didn't rush to be the elder Keqing of Xu's family, so he couldn't help but feel angry, so he took a step sideways, out of the way of Lin Pinghai, and ignored Lin Pinghai at all With a pair of beautiful eyes looking at Xu Haoran, who is sitting here, the meaning clearly revealed is:

"Who is this? Could it be that members of your Xu family can casually yell at guests in the meeting hall?"

Of course, Xu Haoran in the seat immediately understood the meaning in Xu Ziyan's eyes, and couldn't help revealing a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't help repositioning Xu Ziyan in his heart. He didn't expect Xu Ziyan to grasp the situation so skillfully at such a young age, he ignored Lin Pinghai who scolded her at all, but looked at himself. If Xu Ziyan reprimanded her in Lin Pinghai, whether she explained immediately or got angry, she would lose her momentum, but now Xu Ziyan just looked over so simply, and immediately handed over the problem to herself, not only did not lose Identity, but also with a touch of arrogance. As a result, Xu Haoran had no choice but to say:

"Feng Lin, this..."

"Patriarch, don't be fooled by her, watch how I expose her!"

This Lin Pinghai really didn't give Xu Haoran face. He cut off Xu Haoran's words at that time, and stared at Xu Ziyan angrily and arrogantly. To say that he is not usually a person who does not know the depth, he would not interrupt the patriarch's half of what he just said. He was also angry with Xu Ziyan's actions just now. Who is he? The most important talisman maker of the Xu family is now being ignored by a little girl. He doesn't feel that his attitude is bad. Is it necessary to be polite to a liar who dares to deceive the patriarch? Besides, he thinks that he is protecting the interests of the family, not only is he not guilty, but he should also be meritorious. After thinking about exposing Xu Ziyan's trick for a while, the patriarch's expression of gratitude and guilt can't help feeling a little proud in his heart.

Xu Haoran was choked back by Lin Pinghai's own words, and he couldn't help being a little depressed, and he was a little displeased with Lin Pinghai's behavior, but he didn't want to offend Lin Pinghai in his heart. After all, he hadn't seen Xu Ziyan's ability, so he He looked at Xu Ziyan.
